A YOUNG lady asked a little girl, as she overtook her, when walking in the country,
“Can you tell me who Jesus is?”
“Yes, miss,” the little girl answered, “He is our Saviour.”
“But is He your Saviour?” To this the little girl said,
“I do not know.”
How many there are, like this little girl. They speak, sing and talk about a Saviour, but do not know Him as their own personal Saviour.
They cannot truly say,
“He is my Saviour.”
Just to know that there is a Saviour, without having to do with Him personally, will benefit no one.
Let me earnestly entreat you, dear children, not to rest, till, in the presence of God, you can really say,
“Christ is my Saviour,” for unless you know Him thus, you cannot be saved. Be wise; take God at His word, and the result will be eternal salvation.
“The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Rom. 10:8-108But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:8‑10).
